Chapter 6

Greg guided his car down the hill to the surf club. He hoped the appointment with his new bookkeeper didn’t take too long. He still had to finish up the day’s work on the bathroom he was renovating. He had suggested the surf club as a place to meet because he would be able to dash down and return to work quickly. He was taking the next two days off to learn how to keep his books, so he wanted to leave his current job in a tidy state. He had no idea who was coming to meet him, except that her name was Jodie. He would just have to wait until she turned up. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too long.

As the white Toyota Corolla turned into the carpark, Greg gathered up his books and papers. He wanted to hand them over to Jodie so that she could take a look at them tonight. With a bit of luck, she would get them in order quickly and it wouldn’t take a full two days. He looked up as she tapped on the window. Except it wasn’t Jodie’s face he was looking at. It was Madison.

He gasped, feeling winded with the shock. What was Madison doing here? She didn’t look too pleased to see him, either. She looked more like a scared rabbit about to run for her life. He slowly opened the door.

“Madison,” he said uncertainly.

“Hello, Greg,” she said in her most professional tone of voice. Neither of them seemed to know what to say next. Finally, he found his voice.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to meet a client. His message said he was driving a white Toyota ute. Since yours is the only one in the carpark, I’m guessing that it’s either you or he’s not here yet.”

“It’s me.”

Greg almost groaned as the reality of the next two days began to sink in. He hadn’t even considered that he’d hired someone from the company she worked for. In fact, he’d had no idea who she worked for in the first place. He’d never asked. What were the chances of that happening? It was more likely that he’d get struck by lightning. It would be torture working with Madison and trying to stay professional for two whole days. Would they manage it without arguing or getting personal? She was even more beautiful than he remembered and all the feelings of hurt came flooding back. Along with the strong desire to kiss her. This was going to be bad.

“Do you have something for me to look at tonight?” Madison was saying. Her words jerked him back to reality.

“Yes, all my paperwork. It’s a mess, I’m ashamed to admit.”

“I’m sure I’ll get it in order. You’re not the first one to hand me a mess.”

“I wasn’t expecting you. I had no idea that you even worked for this company. And Mandy told me to expect someone called Jodie.”

“Jodie broke her ankle on the weekend and can’t drive so Mandy asked me to come instead.
